Band: Cydonia

Cydonia's first album was nothing to get extremely excited about. It was decent power progish metal in the vein of Labyrinth, but nothing more. Their new disc, The Dark Flower, is a severely improved disc. The melodies are compact and futuristic, and show many influences ranging from thrash to pop to industrial to power and prog. They remind me a bit of Pagan's Mind. Their keyboards and arrangements can be similar at times. Sometimes even the music is reminscent of Soilwork. It's hard to categorize, but it's awesome stuff.
